\nFam-Lay welcomes the crowd for what is to be…<\/p>\n


\nN*E*R*D<\/b>! Pharrell Williams, one half of superstar producer group The Neptunes (Chad Hugo could not make it.) This was down at the Sunburst Music Festival, 21st March 2009.<\/p>\n

I have to admit, I was already very excited to see this band on the original Sunburst 2009 setlist. I’ve been digging their funk-rock-meets-hip-hop-meets-crunk tunes since Fly Or Die (and the voracious Lapdance.)<\/p>\n


\nShae Haley, one third of N*E*R*D (short for No One Ever Really Dies).<\/p>\n


\nShae finds Malaysia a bit hot!<\/p>\n


\nTime For Some Action<\/b>!<\/p>\n


\nThey played a good mix of songs from all three albums, starting with the crunky stuff (Anti-Matter<\/b> was the first song.)<\/p>\n


\nN*E*R*D called some dudes up on stage to boogie down with them. This was obviously to the crunkier stuff (Killjoy<\/b>, Rockstar<\/b>, new song Thrasher<\/b>, Popcorn<\/b>, new song Soldier<\/b>, and Spaz<\/b> if I remember correctly…)<\/p>\n


\nWell hold up! yeah you.<\/p>\n


\nPharrell interrupted the show to scold a photographer who was pushing people (I’ve been elbowed by such inconsiderate photographers before.)<\/p>\n


\n“Now I apologize for bringing attention to you, and, and maybe if I embarrass you I didn’t mean to do that but I’m just saying like, there’s one of you, and there’s like 30 people and you’re pushing them off like they can’t have a good time. These people paid to have a good time! You must not know what an N*E*R*D show is about. It’s about the people!<\/i>”<\/p>\n

\nAnd then they cut to Don’t Worry About It<\/b>.<\/p>\n


\nEverybody wants to flash Pharrell.<\/p>\n


\nN*E*R*D called the girls up on stage too, for the sexier songs (Everybody Nose<\/b>, She Wants To Move<\/b>, Lapdance<\/b>, Sooner Or Later<\/b>, and a cover of Take Me Out<\/b> if I remember correctly).<\/p>\n

This is all before their new stage buddy Rhea<\/b>, though.<\/p>\n


\nThen, it was time for another 4-letter major international act – KoRn!<\/b><\/p>\n

If you spot the Adidas you know they gotta play A.D.I.D.A.S.<\/b> (which does not stand for Adi Dassler, the founder…)<\/p>\n


\nHere’s Fieldy with his signature Ibanez K-5!<\/p>\n


\nYes, the left-and-right two-beat headbang is part of KoRn’s music. Meet Ray Luzier!<\/p>\n


\nMunky laying some chunky rhythm.<\/p>\n


\nAnd, of course, the man in a kilt, Jon Davis!<\/p>\n


\nNo H.R. Giger microphone stand, unfortunately, but enough growl to teleport you back to the 90’s when KoRn hit the airwaves. They played the classics, mostly – in fact, I was surprised I recognized so many of them!<\/p>\n

I don’t remember what they played, but roughly – Blind<\/b>, Shoots And Ladders<\/b>, Clown<\/b>, Coming Undone<\/b>, Falling Away From Me<\/b>, Got The Life<\/b>, Helmet In The Bush<\/b>, Freak On A Leash<\/b>, A.D.I.D.A.S.<\/b>, Here To Stay<\/b>, Right Now<\/b>… I think.<\/p>\n


\n“Aye, if I got my kilt on I might as well bring out me bagpipes!<\/i>”<\/p>\n

In between songs, he would go to the back to his oxygen pipe – quite a necessity for vocalists with demanding vocals.<\/p>\n

And that’s all from the Sunburst Music Festival 2009!<\/p>\n
